COMPUTERS AND THE PROBLEM 2000 IN THE BUSINESS
WORLD Computers play a huge role in Government,
Economy, and Financial affairs. Based on the
information concerning the year 2000 computer
crash project (y2k), people are realizing how much
of the economy depends on computers. The age of
electronics and more specifically, computers, has
caused a tremendous shift in the way we do
business today. Today, many business people
wouldnt be able to function efficiently without
communications as we know it, for example, e-mail
or fax-on-demand. We have gotten so accustomed to
the presence of computers and to what they
provide, that many of us dont remember what it was
like before. This paper will attempt ...

The History And Rise Of Internet In The Business

traces its roots to the United States government.
The original use of the information system was to
maintain communication during the cold war, with
the Soviet Union in 1969, by the Department of
Defense, incase of a nuclear attack or a major
catastrophe. The National Science foundation
created the Internet based on the ARPAnet. The
first mass connection was between the University
of California Santa Barbara, Stanford Research
Institute, the University of Utah and the
University of California Los Angeles.Ray Tomlinson

Hercer Communications 215 April 18, 2000
Introduction What goes on in business and other
organizations? How are their activities carried
out? Who is responsible for them? And, what part
does accounting play? These questions and many
more are often thought about by many confused and
mislead business majors. The main purpose of
accounting is to provide useful, reliable, and
timely information to people who make rational
investments, credit, and similar decisions.
Because accountants serve decisions makers by
providing them with financial information that
helps them make better decisions, accounting is

Adventures In E-Commerce Adventures in E-Commerce
Unless you've been living under a rock for the
last two years, you have heard about e-commerce,
and I bet you've heard about it from several
different angles. I'm sure you've heard about all
the companies that offer e-commerce because you've
been bombarded by their TV and radio ads. You've
read all of the news stories about the shift to
e-commerce and the hype that has developed around
e-commerce companies. You may have even purchased
something off the web, so you have direct personal
experience with e-commerce. In 1996 while surfing
the web, I stumbled on an online auction site.
While I found it interesting and mysterious, I

Affirmative Action - 3,345 words
... Aguilar 1. Affirmative action should be
eliminated (Sadler 70). Affirmative action does
not solve discrimination problems; on the
contrary, it harms those the program is meant
help. The program divides society into two groups
based on ethnicity; this completely defies the
effort to have a color-blind America (where
society does not see ethnicity or a color
difference in any person). Disguised as an equal
opportunity program affirmative action
discriminates against non-minorities. Affirmative
action has its affects in collegiate admissions
and employment, however, remains more
controversial in college admissions. Many groups
protest the abolishment of affirmative action for
sake of higher ...

Baker Affirmative Action Affirmative action is a
growing argument among our society. It is
multifaceted and very often defined vaguely. Some
can define affirmative action as the ability to
strive for equality and inclusiveness. Others
might see it as a quota-based system for different
minority groups. Affirmative action was originally
designed to help minorities (Gross, 1996). Is
affirmative action fair? Are minority groups on
equal footing? Is gaining employment for
minorities difficult? Is education easily obtained
for the minority groups of people? Affirmative

American Dream The American Dream What is the
American Dream? Is it fame? Is it fortune?
President Franklin Roosevelt explained the
American Dream as freedom of speech, freedom of
religion, freedom from want, and freedom from
fear. (AAC) I think that the American Dream is
different for everyone. It is simply the urge for
a better life. The American Dream is still valid
but is totally different from what it used to be.
For the early immigrants the American Dream was a
better life not with material goods, but by
freedom. Freedom to worship whoever they want.
Freedom to say whatever they want without fear of
being arrested or shot. (AAC) This Dream stayed
with America untill the 1900's. That's ...

(AI) conjures up visions of robots that can mix

chess; and to some, will one day be able to look,
act, think and react just like a real person. I
would like to explore the concept of AI as it
relates to the business world, and its possible
many other applications. I believe that true AI is
a dream worth pursuing. Like me, there are many
who, just like those of the early 1960's, thought
that putting a man on the moon seemed to be an
extremely difficult, but not an impossible task,
believing the achievement of true AI to come is
just a matter of time. To remain competitive,

"At 17 Leslie Hornby took hold of the world. At 21
she let it go, she was the original waif, a 60's
phenomenon a superstar. She was Twiggy" (Vogue).
Leslie Hornby was the revolutionary woman who
changed the idea of beauty in the eyes of the
fashion industry and the entire world. Twiggy
exemplified the androgynous mod look that swept
America as it had Britain and much of Europe in
the 1960's. She healthily maintained a 5 ft 6 1/2
inch 90 lb body. Based on her thin figure, a
nickname of "Twiggy" was derived. Twiggy's
popularity not only produced many people who tried
to look like her but also drastically increased
the hourly wages of models. She paved the way for
current top models like Kate M ...

Baby Boom Vs. Three Men And A Baby The two movies
I have selected to review are Baby Boom starring
Diane Keaton, and Three Men and a Baby starring
Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson. They
both came out in 1987 and although they are
similar in topic, they were received very
differently by critics and audiences. The basic
plot of both films is as follows: Career or
party-minded person inherits or is left by a
former lover a baby girl. At first they dont want
her and dont know what to do with her, but soon
they fall in love with her and adjust/adapt their
lifestyles to fit their new daughter. This
generalization may be the basic plot of the films,
but when the details come out, they t ...

buying VCRs was increasing very much and so was
the number of film titles. He wanted to create a
store that would respond to the customer's needs
such as: nice facilities, wide selections of
videos, fast service, and convenience. A computer
